Sooo.. It's been one week (and one day)! It's been a hell of a week. From recovering.. To catching a virus, to my two year old catching it, then my 8 month catching it all while hubby is working.. I'm alone! I had some help this week but she couldn't help me like was needed bc her kids caught a virus too!! But I'm still standing. I'm still in a lot of
Pain. Mainly at the top of my implants and then badly under my breasts and at the sides of my incisions. I'm trying badly not to pick my kids up but with them being sick I have to. My hubby left to go out of town for two days so on my own completely. Lifting them in and out of the crib is a must unfortunately. I'm
Just praying I don't get unstitched but I'm using my legs as much as I can. Sleeping on my back still bc it still hurts any other way and I haven't been cleared by the doctor yet. I go back on Tuesday. I'm still using my ice packs too. My nipple situation has gotten better just like my doctor said and I can ready tell a huge difference! What do y'all think?? Well i hired someone to come clean my house Monday because I am going absolutely crazy not being able to do anything! Was anyone doing housework by this time? I'm curious to know what all you guys were doing at a week post! Thank you for all the kind words and encouragement!

I'm not trying to stalk you, but I haven't heard from you in awhile and I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing.
June 9, 2014
Thank you for checking in.. I have been super depressed and just kinda out of it. It doesn't really have anything to do with my boobs just life in general right now. I still look and read everyone's page - I just never comment. I actually think not being to work out has really ignited this depression. I deleted all my pics bc I was going to delete this account but it wouldn't let me and I'm glad it didn't bc I still like reading and seeing everyone's stuff. I guess I'm feeling down and whenever I get like this in life I always kinda "disappear". I really appreciate u thinking of me and I'm very happy for u. You look great. I know your excited. Im 3 weeks post now I guess I need to post my pics..

I'm so glad you replied. I'm sorry you've been depressed though. :( That's really rough, but I can totally understand how that could happen after surgery. You're so limited on what you can and can't do and it's pretty easy to just slip into a funk. I'm glad you're still around and I do hope that you post an update soon. I bet you could even start with short walks now and that might help fill your desire to work out. I've seen your pics and you're one hot mama.bI hope that you can start feeling better very soon. Feel free to message or post about what you're feeling because I bet a lot of us have felt what you're feeling at one time of another. Take care!

Well I'm still having some pain and a lot of pressure. This healing process is no joke! My breasts have already dropped a little and my nipples have risen, thank goodness. I feel like they're getting better and changing for the better everyday. I'm still sleeping upright and that's annoying but I don't go back to my PS until Tuesday. He said then we will talk about massaging! I feel like my breasts are engorged and I finally know what all this "morning boob" talk is. Also, I am posting a picture of this blister I have under my breast.. Has anyone had this before?? I showed the doctor and he said it was a blister and not to mess with it and it will go away on its own. He said it's probably from my bra running against the tape. I attached the picture- sorry for TMI. I was itching my breasts at night and I accidentally "popped" it- I know that's so gross. I can't wait to start trying on clothes! Also, does anyone know when this bloating goes away?! My stomach looks like I'm pregnant! :(:(

Try avoiding the "itch" you don't want get stretch marks by scratching all over.. Ouch on the blister don't scratch it, it will be a scab & scabs mark you.. Happy healing xoxo
May 21, 2014
I know.. Ugh soo hard!!! But yea I know I don't need to be scratching!

I can tell they are starting to round up on the bottom and fill out already;-}

Thank you very much for saying so. I'm kind of feeling dissapointed that my breasts don't look like everyone else's :( but on that same Note, they were extremely saggy to begin with- so anything is better than I have. I guess if the nipples were to not rise it wouldn't be a HUGe deal bc i am married. Lol. I just really want to them to look good in clothes, bathing suits, strapless dresses and all that stuff- which they look awesome in clothes lol. Thanks for the encouragement- I'm def going through the "depression" stage with the whole nipple dilemma. Thanks girl. Xxoo.

Don't feel bad baby, I love how a lot of girls have the perfect smooth roundness like in [RS bleep], mine were super boxy, still are a little and my tissue is settling quicker than the damn implant. So yes we can link arms, smile , and do a lil skip like in grade school bc no matter what they still are bigger better beautifuller an amazing in clothes!! {;*]}

Ouch--I had a blister too! Mine was on my side. Once it wasn't so raw I put Neosoprin on it. It took like 3 weeks to fully clear up. Glad to see you're starting to drop! It's still so early in your recovery, hang in there girl :)

I see that you are using a neck pillow in one of your pictures. Do you find it helpful and comfortable? I bought a memory foam neck pillow and it seems really bulky and awkward. :-/ I'm not sure if I'll keep it.
May 22, 2014
YES!! I was just telling my hubby thank goodness we got one. I would not have been able to sleep comfortably upright if I didn't have one. I bought mine for $12 off amazon and I believe it's a memory foam one also. Your surgery is coming up?!

May 22, 2014
That's the one I got. Have you been sleeping in a recliner, or your bed? My surgery is June 5th, so 2 weeks from today! :D
May 22, 2014
No recliner. I slept on the couch the first two nights then moved to my bed. I also ordered a pillow with the arms off amazon and that has worked really well with keeping me upright! Good luck to you, it will be here before you know it! Sooo exciting! Can't wait to hear your update!

Saw my doctor today.. I was worried about my nipples being too low. He said they are perfect and that I'm healing really good. He said once my breasts fall into their pockets my nipples will rise. I also have like no bruising so he was surprised about that. All good news- I was really nervous. My hubby and I went to lunch then walked around and I thought I was gonna be able to go the whole day without meds... Ended up taking them! I'm going home to sleep the rest of the night. Also the doctor said the bloating will go away in a week! I attached pics from today. I'm really happy with them, especially in bras-shirts which was really my concern anyhow.

Hey there. Here's a review from another RS member whose nipples started out low and were brought up as her implants dropped. http://www.realself.com/review/southlake-tx-breast-lift-breast-implants-and-lift-jan-22nd

No problem! She had the same "wish boobs" that I want, so I've been following her journey. I think her results are great, and I'm sure that as your implants drop you'll be happy. :)

I hope so too.. Thank you so much!
